New Earth Retreats




New Earth Retreats
New Earth Retreats are the primary vehicle through which New Earth wisdom and practices can be shared with the greater world. New Earth unites the world's leading innovations and innovators in the areas of healing, wellness & conscious living, and makes this planetary network available to humankind through the New Earth Institute and Wellness Clinics which form the foundation of New Earth Retreat facilities. New Earth Retreats are the primary vehicle through which New Earth wisdom and practices can be shared with the greater world. 

The planetary transformation which the New Earth seeks to facilitate is the unification of humanity through the realization, by each member of the human family, of the truth that infinite consciousness is the source of All life - consigning the current illusory world view-point that each life-form is a separate being in a vast and hostile universe, to the annals of history. This subtle shift in perception will self-organize all other aspects of the pending planetary trans-formation.

The primary purpose of the Retreats, and of New Earth generally, is to empower humanity in the recognition of this fundamental truth of existence and thereby alter the dominant paradigm to one where a sovereign humanity is no longer the victim of causality, but a vehicle through which consciousness itself is the architect of it.
Operating from this core purpose, each New Earth Retreat runs continuous courses, seminars and events as permanent beacons of this altered world-view. Retreat participants and practitioners constantly evolve new and innovative expressions of this shift in perception, drawing a constant flow of visitors each aligned with the capacity to embrace it.

With the core of each Retreat being designed to hold this pure and perfect space, the growing planetary network of New Earth Re-treats & Communities creates a conscious grid of intent which em-powers the greater world to rise towards the recognition of this fundamental truth en masse.

New Earth Retreats mission statement:
New Earth Retreats are fully sustainable/regenerative, conscious resorts with residential communities that produce their own food and energy.

Innovative Blueprint 
New Earth unites the world's leading innovations and innovators in the areas of healing, wellness & conscious living, and makes this planetary network available to humankind through the New Earth Institute and Wellness Clinics which form the foundation of New Earth Retreat facilities.

New Earth Retreats are the primary vehicle through which New Earth wisdom and practices can be shared with the greater world. 

New Earth unites the world's leading innovations and innovators in the areas of healing, wellness & conscious living, and makes this planetary network available to humankind through the New Earth Institute and Wellness Clinics which form the foundation of New Earth Retreat facilities. 

World Class & Trend Setting
New Earth Retreats will act as worldwide hubs and catalyst for ecological and conscious living. They will host:
1) World-class Wellness Spas combining multi-disciplinary healing treatments facilitated by Ayurvedic Centres managed by vedic master and President of the International Ayurvedic Foundation Doctor Vaidyaratnam Raghavan.
2) A New Earth Institute serving as a global focus venue for learning and creative expression. The Institute will host international symposia, workshops, training camps, seminars,congresses and retreats in all disciplines.
3) A New Earth Estate providing the world’s first real-estate model offering buyers zero-running costs (for life).
4) Exemplary Ethno-botanical Gardens with restaurant, cafe and health juice bars as unique venues for local and international visitors alike.

Specific project deliverables include the capacity to:
- CREATE energy independence throughout the infrastructure, design and realization of the Project.
- PROVIDE full-spectrum sustainability - providing all energy, water, waste processing, food, construction and education as part of a comprehensive design solution which remediates and restores the local eco-system to its natural state.
- IMPLEMENT a comprehensive permaculture strategy to service food and organic productivity needs.

New Earth Retreats and the New Earth Institute will lead the world in R&D of conscious development, new sciences, health & wellness and new economics. The international programme will also define a new model for conscious eco-tourism. Humanitad is currently establishing phase-one projects in Bali, Samoa, Hawaii, Mexico and Costa Rica.

The New Earth Project is manifesting a ‘new-earth’ template for the rest of the world to observe and emulate.

- Utilising proprietary New Earth Bio-architecture
- Pioneering ecological-retreat
- Designed by world-leading architectural & permaculture experts
- Inspirational landscaping and bio-diversification
- Sustainable zero-impact lifestyles
- World-class international cuisine, restaurants and cafes

Each new earth community employs q-permaculture as the foundation of their food production programs. these new earth community ‘farms’ operate as organic permaculture cooperatives, serving as nationwide exemplars of traditional and permaculture farming and husbandry methods. In addition to servicing the needs of the communities, the Farms maintain regional organic farmers markets where organic producers from across the region are able to trade their produce. This cooperative approach invites the regions non-organic farm operators to join the organic farming revolution, and invites all farmers to embrace these new earth food production methodologies as the next generation of organic farming. the projects team of world-leading permaculture and agricultural specialists provide advice and assistance in managing these transitions.

Each cooperative maintains an organic native variety seed bank which it makes available to the greater world, securing the future of native fruit, vegetable and plant species in all new earth locations.

Raw is understood as the most beneficial way to consume food, retaining more nutrients and enhancing health and longevity. Whilst each community itself determines what communal eating facilities it incorporates, raw food and juice cafes serve as both the main eating areas of the community and their primary social hubs. The idea that we each must prepare our food individually, eating alone or in small groups within a walled homestead, is an outdated notion - whilst people and families are of course free to do so if they wish, the fact is that not everyone obtains great joy from the preparation of their food. Environments where those who do love to prepare food are able to do so for others, with love, enthusiasm, care and attention are far more conducive to a healthful lifestyle. New earth communities represent an opportunity to explore these and many more alternative lifestyle choices as they question all outdated modalities to consciously evolve the human condition.


FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

Healing and Wellness
New Earth Retreats employ an holistic approach to wellness and healing. This holistic approach is no longer an abstract art - modern doctoring and science is increasingly re-learning to embrace such ancient and foundational wisdom. The Wellness Clinics within the Retreats serve to accelerate this shift in attitude towards healing and wellness. Practitioners treat the cause of illness and disease, not the symptoms, and focus their energy on the maintenance of healthy bodies, minds and spirits. Through right and proper education the Retreats empower individuals with the skills they need to ensure enhanced health and longevity. From musculo-skeletal exercises and nutritional information to psychological deprogramming and meditative inquiries these centres cover all necessary components of a healthful balanced existence.

These cutting-edge Clinics are charged with the responsibility for advancing their respective art, allowing for New Earth Retreats to become the largest Research & Development project in healing and wellness ever conducted.

Each Retreat includes a training Academy, operating as part of the New Earth Institute, where these advanced healing arts can be taught to others - creating a global training network for multidisciplinary advanced healing.

In addition to providing healing and wellness services to those visiting the Retreats, these Wellness Clinics provide free treatments to New Earth Residents and members of other local communities who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

*New Earth is receiving inquiries from awesome people and organizations daily. Integrating these contacts and their offerings requires significant organization and coordination. For our initial launch we would like to provide a sampling of these resources and the amazing people connected with them.

Consciousness
The planetary transformation which the Project seeks to facilitate is the unification of humanity through the realization, by each member of the human family, of the truth that infinite consciousness is the source of All life - consigning the current illusory world viewpoint that each life-form is a separate being in a vast and hostile universe, to the annals of history. This subtle shift in perception will self-organize all other aspects of the pending planetary transformation.

The primary purpose of the Retreats, and the Project generally, is to empower humanity in the recognition of this fundamental truth of existence and thereby alter the dominant paradigm to one where a sovereign humanity is no longer the victim of causality, but a vehicle through which consciousness itself is the architect of it.

Operating from this core purpose, each New Earth Retreat runs continuous courses, seminars and events as permanent beacons of this altered world-view. Retreat participants and practitioners constantly evolve new and innovative expressions of this shift in perception, drawing a constant flow of visitors each aligned with the
capacity to embrace it.

With the core of each Retreat being designed to hold this pure and perfect space, the growing planetary network of New Earth Retreats & Communities creates a conscious grid of intent which empowers the greater world to rise towards the recognition of this fundamental truth en masse.

Destination Hospitality
Authenticity. As a word, this defines the experiences we believe is the touchstone for success in tourism development. Ecotourism as a word and concept has lost its original meaning, so it is necessary for us to expand the terminology describing the places and experiences being provided through the New Earth Wellness and Retreat network. Conscious Destination Hospitality relates to the fullest experience that can be provided to our visitors while at the same time assuring that each location be developed with the utmost care and consideration to the people and places which are graciously providing the opportunities for New Earth to Share the New Earth Experiences. Below find a link to an article that elaborates on the opportunities of Experiential and Nature Based Tourism.

Sustainability
The extent of New Earth's commitment to a new model of development requires far more space than can be presented here. However, the aim is to set the standard for natural, cultural, and human beneficial design. We are fortunate to have leaders in the areas Wellness and ecotourism who are immersed in creating the New Earth Nation. Below is a diagram which presents a perspective we are utilizing to establish our sustainability model for retreats. For more information see the pdf document entitled New Earth Conservation Plan.
 

Conservation
New Earth locations are recognized across the world as true Earth Sanctuaries where the rich biodiversity of the world is protected and provided with the ideal conditions to flourish. New Earth communities and complexes are planetary exemplars of harmonious, peaceful and joyful coexistence between conscious human beings and the natural kingdoms; a global model for stewardship where communities satisfy both human needs and those indigenous flora and fauna.

This vision was made possible as a result of careful planning, development and the operationalizing of advanced holistic communities, retreats and institutes.

New Earth has successfully integrated the best known practices that address all potential causes of adverse development related impact. In the spirit of global responsibility, New Earth has left a legacy through which to ensure that all nearby regional landscapes and worldwide ecosystem resilience has been positively impacted. This legacy also included continuous educational support to all community inhabitants from the New Earth Institutes thus ensuring that any newly emerging conscious practices were immediately adapted into daily community life. The depth of biodiversity present at every New Earth venue, including the vast networks of protected lands donated by conscious individuals, are the global guarantee for prosperity and abundance for generations to come.

Wellness Tourism
As stated above, the Wellness Industry is rapidly expanding. New Earth has already connected with leaders in this industry and we expect to be setting up the standards by which the future will be measured. Not that we are interested in any form of competition, but we realize that a fragmented, "wholistic" Wellness industry is an oxymoron. So, as we aim towards simplicity, and delivering the broadest array of healing modalities, it will operate much like a buffet smorgasbord, that will be continually expanding and encompassing. Our Vision is to embrace our humanity, while flourishing in our divinity. The graphic below does a fairly good job depicting the Wellness industry, however we would add one element that is left out of this diagram, human sexuality (not sex tourism), but the embracing of the Divinity of our sexual/sensual natures which have been mis-aligned in so much of the world from various contrary interpretations.



DEVELOPMENTS
The retreat and institute facilities are positioned as exclusive resorts where patrons will be able enjoy relaxation, educational and health oriented facilities whilst enjoying world-class ayurvedic food and beverages.

850m2 Toroid Domes (see illustration) will serve as the facility for each
of the New Earth Institutes. First floor spaces will house eco-pod style
economy accommodation for 75+ visitors.

36m2 Trishula Domes all offering a 5* luxury standard

130m2 Lotus Domes housing Unication clinics, Ayurvedic Centres, New
Earth restaurants and wellness spa facilities.

New Earth Project design principles are based on the uncompromising and aesthetically perfect geometry of nature, The design of each structure and layout of the proposed development conforms to the same organising principles used by the natural world at the atomic, cellular and molecular levels to create all living things.

By honouring this natural order throughout our design philosophy, we create consciousness enhancing structures and developments which align with the design of the human form, thereby encouraging cellular regrowth and returning the human body to its natural, vibrant state.

This holistic approach to wellness and healing is no longer an abstract art. Modern doctoring and science is increasingly re-learning to embrace such ancient and foundational wisdom. Humanitad has fostered and promoted innovations and innovators in the area of health and wellness. The New Earth Project receives the benefit of the knowledge & technology transfer of this planetary network.

The New Earth Project is partnered by its sister organization Exemplar-Zero Initiative which provides the New Earth Retreats with breakthrough sustainable technologies and solutions in energy, building, waste management, water purification and food production.

New Earth Project Facilities
- New Earth Institute
- Unication Clinics
- Ayurvedic Clinic
- International Cuisine restaurants

· Swimming pools and leisure spaces
· Juice bars
· Raw food restaurants
· Raw food internet Cafe's

Retreat accommodation is provided through various configurations of sacred geometric domes, ranging in size from 25m2 to 98m2.

With extremely low rates for luxury dormitory style domes and groups, New Earth Retreats are available to all.

Real-estate' plots incorporated within the Retreats serve as a planetary exemplar for real-estate development, representing the first luxury real-estate developments ever constructed which guarantee purchasers zero running costs for life - providing a viable stepping stone for upwardly mobile individuals and families to transition to a sustainable lifestyle. The inclusion of 'real-estate' plots also reduces invested capital in Retreat developments, providing a stronger investment plan and increased revenues which can be expended on other aspects of the Project.

All facilities and accommodations conform to New Earth Design principles.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
The low resource requirements and fast build times of the Projects innovative design solutions allow New Earth Retreats to utilize a philanthropic profit sharing model whilst providing steady returns to Investors and Landowners from the ongoing operation of Retreat rental accommodation and facilities. This provides the realistic and grounded foundation to support the ongoing expansion of the Project and to support the network of New Earth Communities if and when required.

New Earth Retreats enter into agreement with Investors and Landowners (where the land is not already in the possession of the New Earth Trust). Landowners transfer the Land to the development company in return for a profit sharing agreement in the completed Retreat. Once Investor capital has been returned, the land is transferred to the Earth Sanctuary Universal Trust where it remains, in perpetuity, for the benefit of mankind.

Landowners forming part of the New Earth network and who have transferred land to the development company are required to transfer, free of charge, an equal sized land holding, in close proximity to the Retreat development, for the purpose of establishing a New Earth Community. This secondary piece of land is transferred
directly to the Earth Sanctuary Universal Trust.

Profit Sharing Model
- 50% of net profits generated by New Earth Retreats will be distributed to its stakeholders as per the profit sharing model.
- 25% of net profits generated by New Earth Retreats will be deposited into a dedicated HUMANITAD LOCAL TRUST whose beneficiaries will be the local people.
- 25% percent of net profits generated by New Earth Retreats will be deposited into a dedicated NEW EARTH TRUST whose beneficiaries will be humankind and planet earth.

 

Use of Trust Funds
Funds held by both the HUMANITAD LOCAL TRUST and the NEW EARTH TRUST will be employed at their respective local and global levels to:

1. Advance the worldwide New Earth Project model by:
a) Developing additional New Earth Retreats to create a robust international network.
b) Hosting coordinated, annual, 5 day Festivals as a unified global focus event from the selected New Earth Project locations across the globe.
c) Establishing New Earth Cooperatives.
d) Educating peoples from local regions in the New Earth disciplines facilitated through the network of New Earth Institutes.
e) Generating new vocational opportunities

New Earth Retreats are the Projects primary commercial platform.
- They perform most commercial functions of the Project, allowing the Projects other components to function without a monetary focus.
- The profits which they generate are employed to benefit and support the greater Project.
- The New Earth Project unites the world's leading innovations and innovators in the areas of healing and wellness, and makes this planetary network available to humankind through the New Earth Institute and Wellness Clinics which form the foundation of New Earth Retreat facilities.

Subject to the terms of an investors engagement, once Investor capital has been returned and their profit sharing agreement comes to an end, Investor profit shares are received by the New Earth Trust. Where the New Earth Trust elects to serve as the Investor and/or land provider for the New Earth Retreats, the proportion of profits which would otherwise go to the relevant stakeholder are received by the New Earth Trust from the outset.
